 The MOBILE UNIT has been designed and constructed to avoid turning over up to an
inclination of 10° from horizontal in its transport position.
It is therefore advisable:
 not to remain, move or place the Apparatus on surfaces with an inclination of more
than 10°.
 not to try to move the Apparatus without working on the special handle for “releasing
the brakes”;
 pay attention, during movement of the UNIT, to any obstacles on the floor (cables, steps
and differences in level of any kind).

For the Residual Risks due to any defect in the protection measures used, remember that:
 Protection against electric shocks is made by connecting the metal parts of the apparatus to
earth: it is therefore necessary to periodically check correct operation of the whole earthing
circuit - according to the ORDINARY MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME described in SECTION 4 of this
manual.

Not respecting the unit alarms could lead to overheating of the

2.7 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
According to the foreseen use, this electronic apparatus conforms with the EMC 89/336 Directive
its revised version,, which defines the maximum permitted emission levels for electronic
apparatus and immunity from electromagnetic fields.
In any case, it is not possible to absolutely exclude the possibility that radio signals coming from
transmitters, such as mobile phones or similar mobile radio systems, themselves conforming to
the EMC standard, may influence
nfluence correct operation of the electro medical apparatus if they are
used near the systems and have a relatively high transmission power. Consequently the use of
this type of radio apparatus in the immediate vicinity of medical systems controlled
electronically must be avoided,
avoided, to eliminate any risk of interference.
EXPLANATION
Electronic apparatus which satisfies the EMC standard is designed so that, under normal
conditions, there is no risk of electromagnetic interference. However, in the case where radio r
signals coming from high frequency transmitters with a relatively high transmission power are
used near the electronic apparatus, the risk of electromagnetic incompatibility cannot be totally
kept under control.
